Long time lurker with hopefully a meaningful thread.

Last year, 20% of the bands that played Sasquatch also played Coachella. I didn't look back beyond that but suffice to say there's an overlap between festivals each year. Now that the Coachella lineup's been released, perhaps we can make some more educated guesses/predictions on who's going to overlap this year?

With no real basis for these predictions other than that I've yet to see tour dates in the NW, these acts seem more likely than others to me as being overlaps this year: The Strokes, Crystal Castles, Black Joe Lewis & The Honeybears, Sleigh Bells, Bright Eyes, Thao & Get Down Stay Down, The New Pornographers, HEALTH & Lightning Bolt.

Coachella and Sasquatch are two different things; two completely different crowds. Speculating about lineup overlap or getting your hopes up for an act that is at one to be at the other seems kind of futile, maybe? I mean, even that they're in roughly the same geographical region doesn't matter because they take place more than a month apart.
